Long wooden boats float on the water, and fishermen spin and cast out their fishing nets. For the fish, this is undoubtedly an overwhelming shadow.
The fish are struggling in the net, but the fishermen will not feel pity for it. The big fish eats the small fish. This principle applies everywhere.
However, they will still screen out fish that are too young from the net and then put them back.
The act of extermination is still unacceptable.
The people of the Lu family held harpoons, wooden knives, and bow clusters in their hands, and accurately rounded up some big fish. That was another area of activity, and Yuzai saw that not a single member of the Lu family had at least one hanging on their waist. Three big gourds.
A member of the Lu family jumped into the water!
The gourd on his waist floated up, lifting his whole body up. Yuzai was extremely surprised to see this scene.
A lifebuoy from ancient times?
People with the Lu family are good at water, and gourds help them float better.
"In ancient times, the Huaxu family planted gourds on the east side of the river, and they gave birth to Fuxi and Nuwa. At that time, there was a flood between heaven and earth, so Fuxi killed giant turtles to support the four poles, and Nuwa refined five-color stones to mend the sky. "
"At the time of Zhuanxu, the Gonggong clan raised an army because their ancestors had been honored by the Emperor of Heaven. They refused to obey Zhuanxu's command. Kang Hui, the leader of the Gonggong clan, fought with Emperor Zhuanxu from west to east, from Dahe and Yaoshan, past the Queen Mother of the West, and fought to Xuanyuan Hill. , stopped after long stay and Bu Zhou, Kang returned to defeat, and angered Bu Zhou's negative mountain, causing the Western Sea to pour, water shaking the clouds and sky, and the fertile soil of thousands of miles turning into quicksand..."
The witches of the Lu family tell stories from two hundred years ago, and the big gourd is the water-crossing treasure left by the Huaxu family. Therefore, the totem of the Lu family is an invisible figure, holding a reed on the left and a reed on the right. A humanoid god holding a large gourd.
In other words, he is the "god of evil spirits".
"There may be a fish tide coming soon."
The old wizard Lu looked at the flow of water around him, then looked at the sky, then asked for a big fish from a warrior, and suddenly came to this conclusion.
Fish tide is the fish flood season, and the fish flood season for each fish is different. The old wizard of the Lu family has a perfect grasp of the flood seasons for the five kinds of fish here.
"There will be changes in the tail water and edge water. The Shaxi, Wulangshui, Baimei and Sanshui levels will also rise sharply. Tell the tribesmen to be prepared for fishing. In at least seven or eight days, the spring flood will come! "
"The big guys who traveled to the East China Sea are coming back!"
Lu's old wizard looked a little excited. This year's spring floods were earlier than in previous years. It seemed that it was because of the floods in the southwest before spring plowing.
The school of fish misjudged the time to return to their nests, and before the momentum of the flood completely subsided, they started a fish flood!
And the warriors of the Lu family were all in high spirits, howling and screaming, and banging the gourds around their waists loudly!
They are very confident about the arrival of the spring floods. This time, it will be another bumper harvest!
Yu Zai was surprised: "Can Mr. Lu accurately judge the fish flood time just by looking at the trajectory of the fish?"
The old wizard of the Lu family smiled and said: "After reading something over and over again for hundreds of years, you can always find some experience."
"Just like what you said to tiller buds and Jinghua before, just go with the flow."
Yuzai was speechless, and then sincerely asked the old wizard for advice.
Go with nature, this is the true truth that the old man said through his own words.
"Although celestial phenomena cannot be predicted in full, the behavior of fish can reflect many things. Fish will not gather in large numbers for no reason..."
The old wizard of the Lu family smiled like an old yellow flower lamenting the passing of time under the setting sun.
"Spring is here, everything is sprouting, men are plowing the fields, women are planting crops, and the mountains and fields are full of sight...the same goes for fish."
The tone seemed somewhat meaningful.
Yu Zai was stunned for a moment, and then his expression was very exciting, a bit dumbfounded.
Senior, your speed is a bit fast! I almost got thrown off!
“The intercourse between fish and fish is like grains bearing ears, a family has a new son, people gather together to become a tribe, and fish gather to form a tide of fish…”
The Lu family has been fishing and hunting for hundreds of years, and has developed a complete set of fishing gear. Ruanzai looked at the location of the water veins, and the old wizard of the Lu family said: "This is the edge water, and the water level is higher than before."
Ruanzai led a few wizards around this branch of Bianshui and walked along the shore for a long time. The reeds were gently swaying, and the people with big gourds hanging on their bodies, as well as the warriors of the Lu family in small boats, Occasionally going back and forth between the gazes of several wizards.
Yuzai turned her head and looked into the distance.
Reaching out and grabbing a reed pole, Yu Zai shook it hard, showing a hint of joy.
"The reed poles here are as strong as bamboo?"
The old wizard said: "The Wilderness of Zaoli is a good place. There used to be a god here, and then he left, and it was our ancestor god."
"It is said that our ancestors like reeds the most. Perhaps these reeds have also been deified... But who knows, but they are quite sturdy when used to build houses in the mud."
Ruanzai pointed to the riverside: "I know what to do!"
"South of the Bianshui, we can build a fish beam!"
“You can build a rice house north of the Bianshui!”
The old wizard's eyes lit up, Baili Mao, and Huang Kanshan couldn't wait to say: "Wuzai made it clear that the rice house is easy to understand, but I dare to ask what is a fish beam?"
Yu Zaidao said: "Put horizontal earth and stones as the foundation, cut off the edge water in the center, build a weir of wood and stone, leave a water gate, and place a bamboo raft or bamboo frame at the water gate."
"Use wooden piles, firewood branches, and rattan nets to make fences or fences, and place them at the intersection of water veins, where fish must pass."
"When the water rises, the weir beam runs diagonally through the center of the water, and a group of fish jumps and falls on the bamboo frame. The beam is the way for people to cross the river, and the weir beam is where the fish land!"
In the Shanhai era, there was no such thing as a bridge. The earliest bridge was a beam. Floating beams were a kind of wisdom of the ancients. Later, the Ba Bridge built during the Qin Mugong period should be the first real bridge in recorded history, not called a "beam". bridge.
The scene described by Yu Zai would make anyone moved. The old wizard of the Lu family was even more surprised: "Thousands of fish caught? Is it really so powerful?"
Yu Zai said: "It is also necessary to supplement it with a fish trap. This thing is made of bamboo and reed poles. It has a large mouth and a thin neck, and a large and long belly. It is shaped like a snare. It is placed in the water. When the flood season comes, fish will swim in. , enter the fish trap, there are inverted bamboo pieces in the trap, it is easy to get in but not easy to get out, so the small fish cannot be trapped here, and the big fish cannot escape."
"There is a fish coming from afar!"
"Even if it's far away, I'll catch it!"
Yuzai said it like a joke!
The old wizard of the Lu family was shocked, and he smiled: "I would like to learn fishing and hunting from the old man, but I can exchange these two things for you first!"
The old wizard looked a little moved and said: "If it is true, when the flood season comes, if not tens of thousands of fish can be caught, but thousands can be caught at one time, I will use my skills to find the pulse of the water, observe the behavior of the fish, and the fish that avoid it." I’ll teach you how to look forward to floods even when the tide is high!”
